    This tree has yellow in the round under the bark at the first layer (cambium) its stump is pictured also. Its also pretty stringy with no odor. Hickory type?? I thought it might be poplar but its too heavy and the bark is too rough. Some of the bark resembles locust bark a little. The tree buds are huge also 52720C2E-8C97-4F51-8D77-329A8520D0E3.jpeg

    They don't all have thorns. I've been fooled by mulberry before thinking it was locust, but I can't tell how mulberry-y those pics look to me. I wouldn't count on it but it's possible?

    I don't see any locust there, but the second pic looks like 3 different species to me, possibly Elm varieties?

    Looks like red elm, but I've never seen one grow co-dominant like that.

    stringiness in pic #4 says elm to me. Ive had fresh cut green elm split nice and clean like yours. For the most part i avoid elm being a hand splitter. Were those hydro or hand split Chris?

    Im going to say yes, but it was over ten years ago i processed green fresh cut elm (not red variety) and it was frozen to boot. The rounds were bigger 12"+ as well. The red elm i cut around Memorial day last year and split it next day. Cant load those pics for some reason.
